After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.

The sudden series of actions startled him, causing him to unconsciously grip his phone tighter. He glared angrily at the person on the other end before resolutely pressing the green call button.

"Aren't you at the Shen family's house right now?"

Lu Yuchen's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding calm but with a hint of concern.

"I just went out. Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"

Shen Xuan replied casually, trying to keep her voice steady.

At the same time, Li Siyuan, who was standing next to him, unexpectedly showed a faint smile after hearing the conversation.

"It's nothing serious. I'm just heading back to Hucheng and wanted to let you know. Since you're not here right now, I'll head out first."

Hearing the nonchalant tone on the other end, Shen Xuan frowned immediately, feeling that there was something wrong behind those words.

Just as she was pondering, she was suddenly pushed forcefully against the wall, and then felt a warm breath on her neck.

It turned out that Li Siyuan had taken the initiative to kiss her, a move that completely disrupted her already chaotic emotions.

Shen Xuan felt a surge of anger welling up inside her, almost bursting forth.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

She was still on the phone when she felt his strong approach, which involuntarily aroused a sense of disgust within her.

"Okay, feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

Lu Yuchen's voice came from the other end of the phone, adding a sentence.

His tone was very sincere, as if he were making a promise to her.

Shen Xuan quickly agreed and then hung up the phone, not giving him a chance to say anything more.

He suddenly licked the skin on her shoulder, and this unexpected intimate contact made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She pushed him away in disgust, and at the same time, her phone fell to the ground with a thud due to the violent movement.

"Li Siyuan, it's really too much for you to be like this so early in the morning."

Her words were laced with anger and frustration. She hurriedly pulled up her slipping bra strap, then bent down, picked up her phone, and quickly put it in her pocket, trying to avoid further physical contact with him. She then rushed out of the room.

The shocking marks left on her neck filled her with unease and even stirred up some indescribable emotions.

No need to look anymore, this guy definitely did it on purpose.

His actions while he was talking to other men were undoubtedly meant to tell her one thing: she had completely become his.

Although this kind of behavior was commonplace for her, every time it actually happened, the displeasure in her heart still surged like a tide and lingered.

At this moment, he supported himself on the wall with one hand, turned his body halfway to look at the figure that was moving away from him, and his face revealed a trace of melancholy that was not easily detected.

After entering the bedroom, Shen Xuan sneezed twice in a row, sniffed her red nose, and then noticed that there were still many unmade quilts waiting for her to deal with.

A suit jacket lay casually beside her, with a file folder hidden inside. It accidentally fell out when she picked up the clothes to put them away.

She didn't even give it a chance out of the corner of her eye, and simply threw the clothes and the documents inside into a corner.

Li Siyuan, who happened to be standing at the door, witnessed everything that had just happened, and a strange and complicated feeling welled up in his heart.

How much she must dislike herself to treat her belongings with such indifference?

This thought pierced the softest part of my heart like a thorn.

Her hand unconsciously tugged at her collar, as if trying to relieve the suppressed emotions in her heart.

The brief but unforgettable kiss from earlier kept replaying in his mind. Her reaction at the time evoked some very special feelings in him, a mixture of surprise and doubt.

Shen Xuan seemed to sense something was amiss, and a flicker of panic flashed in her eyes.

She didn't do as he wished last night, and just now he reminded her again in the same way.

This action was clearly provoking her.

However, to her surprise, he simply went inside, picked up his clothes—things he had left there—gazed at her for a moment, and then turned and left the room.

Shen Xuan watched his receding figure until it finally disappeared into the small space, and a complex and indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Jiang Yu's voice rang out from the side: "I must say, you really have a magic power to calm the young master down. Miss Shen is truly a unique and wonderful medicine."

Upon hearing the other person's words, Shen Xuan asked with a slightly heavy heart, "Last night... didn't Young Master go back to be with Weiwei?"

Because of the unusual behavior the other party had shown earlier, Shen Xuan couldn't help but want to know the truth.

"So you didn't know that?"

From his tone, it was clear that Jiang Yu was quite surprised.

"I don't understand, what happened to make you react like this?"

As the words left her mouth, Shen Xuan stopped in her tracks.

She turned to face Jiang Yu, her eyes revealing obvious confusion.

The two then walked side by side toward the gate of the courtyard. Just as they were about to leave the courtyard, a car parked on the roadside not far away caught their attention.

The figure sitting in the driver's seat was shrouded in shadow, giving him an air of mystery even in the twilight.

……

Just as Gao Jing was standing outside, preparing to knock on the door, she suddenly heard a man's voice coming from inside.

That is, Lu Shuli's voice.

"I just received news that Lu Yuchen has returned here? What is his purpose here?"

He was lounging lazily on the sofa, his legs crossed and placed on a small table in front of him.

At this moment, wisps of smoke rose slowly from the end of the cigarette held between his fingers, forming hazy halos around his constantly flickering eyes.

The person being questioned paused for a few seconds before replying, "It's said that he came specifically to celebrate Miss Shen's birthday. However, he left not long afterward."

"Is it just because we had dinner together?"

After uttering these questioning remarks, the young man raised his half-closed eyelids and looked in the direction of the speaker, but seemed to see nothing at all.

“During this time, he did not continue to investigate the old lady’s secret,” the other party replied.

"I never expected that she would be willing to give up everything else for a woman, even abandoning the fight against Li Siyuan, and leaving Jiangcheng directly."

Lu Shuli's tone revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.
